Phantom Ranch Lottery

For Phantom Ranch overnight mule rides and hiker cabin stays in April 2024 and beyond, our normal Phantom Ranch lottery operations will resume as follows:

Phantom Ranch utilizes a lottery system for random selection of the bed space (cabins and dorms). Please note the Dormitories are currently closed and we unfortunately do not yet have a new target date for them to re-open.

  • Lottery entries are made between the 1st and 25th of the 15th month prior to the desired stay month.
  • Lottery submissions will be processed, lottery winners notified, and reservations guaranteed within the 14th month prior to arrival.
  • Any unsold/unclaimed inventory will be released to general availability for reservations following the current 13-month reservation window.

Reservation Schedule

The below grid provides a schedule for the lottery with key dates of the lottery process, based upon the month of stay at Phantom Ranch.
